Random Loot

by TheMarstonConnell

Random Loot gives equipment random traits, names and levels, and lets players add or remove those traits with crafted templates.

What it does

The modifier system can be extended, and the code base was reorganized to be easier to maintain. Items pick up traits as they drop or are found, and a tool's level advances with use. Traits can depend on the biome where an item is found, and tools receive names generated from their traits. Holding Shift over an item shows its expanded status and traits, while holding Control shows a description of each trait applied.

Tools, armor and weapons can be enchanted and repaired at an anvil, and the repair material is configurable, with diamond as the default. Trait Addition Templates appear in dungeon chests and similar loot cases, with a 15% chance by default, and a Subtraction Template removes a trait when used on an item with an addition template in hand. Cases and dispensers that are opened automatically can also dispense gear, and the rolls favor the most progressed online player, with 75% as the default setting.

The mod is for client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it requires Fabric API. It is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 10 release versions, 1.16.5 – 26.3, and the code is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, so it is open source.

Key features

  1. Random traits

    Equipment gains traits that change its behavior, with a default set and a modifier list that can be expanded.

  2. Tool progression

    Items gain levels and stats as they are used, so the same item changes over time.

  3. Trait addition and subtraction

    Addition templates add a trait to an item, and subtraction templates remove one, with a configurable chance to find them in loot.

  4. Configurable repair

    Equipment is repaired at an anvil with a configurable material, with diamond as the default.

  5. Configuration options

    Server and modpack owners can change loot chances, repair material and dispensed gear rolls in the configuration files.
